Review #1

Excellent Transaction

I was very happy with this transaction. The book was shipped very fast. A minor problem was addressed quickly and I would not hesitate to make another purchase.




Review #2

Quite the tome

This is one big book. It also has to be the best book I have run across on the subject of trees. I learned some things that I wouldn't find in my US field guides. I did not know that giant sequoias' branches will root if they droop to the ground.

On the page facing the title page is a picture of an English Elm. I thought, 'Oh, it has photographs too.' I looked closer and found it to be a painting. An incredible painting. And there's close to 800 pages more of incredible art. They are not idealized representations: They are painted from life.

It's big and it's beautiful. If you love trees you gotta have this one.




Review #3

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Trees

This book has proven so helpful as we planned to landscape our new home. The encyclopedia has become my main source of tree knowledge. Would highly recommend it.
